Pierce Annual Fund

The Pierce Annual Fund touches everyone and everything on campus. It is our top fundraising priority because the University depends upon it to fund day-to-day operations and meet the annual operating budget. Unlike our endowment, which is invested, the Pierce Annual Fund is used to support the current year’s needs. These unrestricted funds also allow us to respond to changing circumstances and pursue new opportunities.
